Lincoln’s assassination was a pretty big part of the south getting away with their insurrection.
But the constitution was fucked by the slave drivers from the start. And it ends with our non-representative congress, and presidents elected with a minority of the popular vote.
American here, everything in recent news suggests Milei is a clown though, and I wouldn’t trust another floppy haired politician’s motives without more information.
I recently got a Sony prs 600 e reader from 2009. The battery is at the end of its life (It lasts about 3 days with heavy reading, and a couple weeks without reading). No backlight, no Wi-Fi, just an SD card that I can load epub files and small PDFs. The screen is slow and the contrast isn’t the best. The “touch screen” is...
They did sorta start the mega corporation, and speculative trading. Both of which kinda ruined the world (assuming capitalism isn’t necessary for innovation, which I think probably true).
So far, only shady-ass car loan shark company has been willing to accept Donny’s collateral, maybe, unless it’s just after bribe to get them out of trouble if that dickhead manages to win the election.
South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem, a MAGA Republican shortlisted as a potential running mate for Donald Trump in November, is now legally barred from visiting some 10 percent of the lands in her home state—and can be thrown out of those places if she violates the order....
It didn’t take long for the panic to set in among Republicans after the Arizona Supreme Court ruled Tuesday morning to ban virtually every abortion in the Grand Canyon State....
I heard it mentioned that even if the board approved an early sale for Trump, the company may still be in trouble for failing it’s duty to share holders (since allowing a Trump dump would pretty much finish off the company).
Yeah, actually seems like a fair bit of the people that build things for NASA live in the Deep South. And plenty of them I’m sure come up rooting for the wrong side of the Mason Dixon.
“But the Trumpian part is that even though, or perhaps because, it may be part of a Trump scam, Knight now too may be on the hook for $175 million as it won’t automatically get out from underneath its own proffered surety.”...
Yeah: “Isn’t he the guy who [insert atrocious fact or quote from whichever asshole here]” either gets them confused, usually resulting in a “but Hunter’s laptop” response, no matter the topic. Or they quiet down and move on in my experience.
I wonder if ads like that would make it on truth social? I’d imagine they wouldn’t be up long, but also understand the dilemma between advertising to the morons, and supporting Donny’s scam.
Pod save America had polling numbers that showed a slight edge to Trump because of RFK votes. That was around a week ago though, things may have changed since.
There is a not insignificant number of his supporters who think he’s saving the country from a collection of weird conspiracies (remember the pizza shop bullshit).
They are being told cities are raging hell holes (one of them I talked with was afraid to visit his local city of around 100,000 people without having multiple guns on him)
Trans people are either trying to cheat at sports or grooming their kids (something the Republican Party seems to disproportionately do themselves)
Libs are both too stupid to see all their “truths”, and cunning evil bastards who want to eliminate them, their gas stoves, and their precious fucking guns (again projection).
Yes plenty are racist bigots, but a lot are dumb and brainwashed by social media, OANN and Fox’s constant stream of bullshit.
70,000 people voted for Haley, even though she’s dropped out weeks ago.
That’s 20k more than the protest voters against Biden.
It’s still a concern, and Isreal still needs to stop, but some percentage of these both these protest voters are going to vote very differently in the general. It’s gonna be close, but not voting for Biden will fuck up Gaza and the rest of our world far more than voting for him.
Square (Robertson) drives are actually great too. Better than Hex/Allen, but Torx is the most reliable, and the most German. Phillips can take a long walk off a short pier.
The liberals I know think it’s pretty off track. Specifically, it fell off the rails when Trump got elected.
The track switch probably was thrown back in the 2000 election. We all hoped President Obama was gonna get us back on track.
MAGA wants to revert the us to some racist 1950s version. Violence is basically required to achieve that vision.
Liberals want to put the US back on track to equality, human rights and a secure future (see SCOTUS, for example of how off track the US is). We just don’t think violence is a good way to do take.
She had no qualifications to be a federal judge at this level, so there should be no expectation that she would behave as other federal judges, who until recently, were seasoned and well tested judges with decades of experience.
We can only hope, but polling shows him hurting Biden slightly more than Trump.
So make sure any of your acquaintances that might be on the fence about Biden know that Robby’s biggest donor is also one of Trumps bigger donors as well. It ties the wholes together even tighter.
